Story Behind The Song
We wrote this especially for Kenny Rogers- hopefully he likes it!
Song Description
A story about the love of this man's life, Lynn. They dated when they were teenagers- she broke his heart in some way, and they broke up. But this was the first love of his life, so he always remembered her. Then years later, perhaps in his 50's or even 60's, they meet again on some online dating service. They fall madly in love and are married. This time their relationship lasts, because they're older and wiser. They spend their golden years together until she dies (for whatever reason). Now he's remembering all the times he spent with her and writes her this letter to tell her how much he loved (and still loves) her. He dreams about how they will meet again in heaven.

Lyrics
Dear Lynn,
readin' through your old love letters,
rememberin' how you wore my sweater.
We were young and we were free,
it was always you and me.
But then we grew miles apart,
man, you broke my heart.
And I swore,
no one would ever hurt me more.
Dear Lynn,
Imagine the surprise of my life,
when I found you again online.
Once more the stars aligned,
after all this time.
After all those years had passed,
life gave us a second chance,
and aged like a fine red wine,
I was yours and you were mine.
Dear Lynn,
just want to let you know
that I love you so.
Dear Lynn,
rememberin' all the dreams we shared,
all the love we had,
spendin' all our days together,
Dear Lynn.
Dar Lynn,
growin' old and grey together,
and you still wore my old sweater,
cherishing every day,
it was perfect in every way.
But time has a golden rule,
we must play the fools,
and no matter how we pretend,
all good things must end.
Dear Lynn,
just want to let you know
that I loved you so.
Dear Lynn,
rememberin' all the dreams we shared,
all the love we had.
We were so damn good together,
Dear Lynn.
Dear Lynn,
your eyes were always so bright,
your smile perfect and white.
Your body was so full of life,
your love was never afraid of heights.
And in heaven we'll be together,
you'll be there in my old sweater.
You gave me the ride of my life,
and I thank you for being my wife.
Dear Lynn,
just want to let you know
I'll always love you so.
Dear Lynn,
rememberin' all the dreams we shared,
all the love we had,
We were made to be together,
you and me forever,
Dear Lynn.
Dear Lynn.
